To John, Back in 1985/6 many of us purchased M14s, 30-06 Garrands,.30 M1& M2 Carbines,Fals in 7.62,AR10s in 7.62 (Dutch M16 types)from Uk dealers. Also, converted to semi-auto only, Sten 9mms, MP40s,Sterlings & Madsens all x SMGs. Some were mint,others not perfect,but still very good.The UK dealers seemed to have thousands of them to dispose off at that time, Then it seemed a lot of those dealers closed down, leaving just a few to carry on,one that I knew from Portsmouth UK became a Church Minister ,what a difference.Those were the good days,we never had any trouble,everyone seemed to appreciate the trust placed in them to act responsibly,and it worked well.Then in 1996 our Chief Minister (Govt) decided we must give up self loading rifles except 22lr.The other Islands could keep theirs but not us.Yet we were allowed to keep as many handguns as we wished.How does one ever figure out politicians.Kestraal
